Must not oppose taxes

Cornell professor writing in NYT says that opposition to taxes is like car stealing and vandalism:

"Anti-tax zealots denounce all taxation as theft, as depriving citizens of their right to spend their hard-earned incomes as they see fit. Yet nowhere does the Constitution grant us the right not to be taxed. Nor does it grant us the right to harm others with impunity. No one is permitted to steal our cars or vandalize our homes. Why should opponents of taxation be allowed to harm us in less direct ways?"

And the guy is supposed to be an expert in ethics! Sounds like he could use some ethics himself. Or is free speech not ethical?
